Hotel Holt

Boutique hotel whose walls are an art gallery

Hours: Check-in from 15:00
Address: Bergstaðastræti 37, 101 Reykjavík

Original works by Icelandic painters crowd the walls of the rooms, lobby and library in this 42-room hotel, which bills its collection as the country's largest in private hands. Rooms are quiet and fairly small rather than flashy, so it suits people who come for the art. It sits on a calm street up the hill, yet the shopping streets are on foot.
